    Moon Patrols definitely feel more populous. I know pre-Shadowkeep they had talked about designing Patrol spaces with lower Player counts in mind, but I guess they must have made that function of the matchmaker a bit too restrictive.

    That tuned player count is going to be nice. It was rare I'd see more than 1 or 2 other people in a zone this past week, even a flashpoint.

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

    Flashpoints still exist, but you need to hit 900 before the Powerful challenges start to appear as options

    Challenges now are pretty much the old Milestones

    Ah, ty. That was the missing piece. I think I barely cracked 760 last night.

    It's fun to have ten or twelve people whomping on the same public event. Yeah it trivializes it, yeah it probably isn't how you designed it, but who cares, it's real fun.

    Potentially the most destiny thing to ever happen, short of them just straight up disabling Shadowshot in D1

    Until 900 you just want lots of blues. Lost Sectors/PEs/strikes are all good ways to generate them.

    figured comp might be a good shout with everyone in IB, 2 games and 2 drop outs from my team. 2nd game the fucker left right after we lost the first round. its bad enough that comp is required for seasonal seal without this fucking bullshit.

    I've noticed a few lately. The Distribution and Perpetuation icons got swapped. The Veist Poison Shimmer icon and another Veist shader icon got swapped.

    It's prob worse time to do Comp since there's less casual players in the pool, they're all over in IB. By the time the weekend rolls around you'll see it even out as people finish their IB stuff and move back to the other queues.

    i mean we weren't that outmatched. first match we started off trading rounds, us winning first. our 3rd dropped after we went 2-1 up and we managed to make it 3-1 before the turnaround kicked in. first round of the second match was kinda even but hard to tell how the rest of it would have gone when we lost someone so early.

    i can put the first one down to a bad connection. hell, my internet just cut out for a bit there but at least mine had the decency to do it between matches. the 2nd fucker though, i'm pretty sure they just up and quit on us.

    That's exactly what this tweet is about. That step is supposed to be Grenade Launcher kills (or Super kills?) but it's busted and counts SMG kills.

    Oh, I thought surely it would just be the text description that's messed up and they wouldn't have duplicate quest steps.


    I had all that fun running triple Grenade Launchers for nothing.

    I feel like I’m about to get destroyed in IB, but here I go. Might as well since I need 25 kills for the Ace of Spades quest.

    Someone a few pages back, that I now can't find, posted a series of "easy" to get PvP meta load out videos. Anyone have those handy?

    I know I'm going to be dragged in to Iron Banana this week, I might as well prep a load out.

    Don’t know about meta, you can take my MIDA from my hunter’s dead hands, but here’s what I used/using for quests:

    Spectacle: I used MIDA/Mini Tool
    Intent (Pulse Rifle Kills): Last Perdition (Moving Target/Rampage)
    Timing (Fusion Rifle): Wizened Rebuke (Under Pressure/Backup Plan)

    Currently on SMG kills using Riskrunner with catalyst. Weapon mods I used Targeting Adjustor. Armor mods were Precision or Weapon Targeting, Unflinching Rifle Aim.

    I dislike that I have to complete scour the rust to get engrams. I've got a huge pile of tokens doing nothing.

    Is Impenetrable Bobwhite still PL-enabled? I haven't done any crucible in a while and am going to be bad enough without being 40ish levels below the pack.

    I’m at like level 45? Damn. Y’all are going hard.

    Can report a successful raid boss clear last night. So much smoother playing with friends than lfg fandoms, good grief. Our voice even died halfway through and we still cleared no problem.

    2000 silver to boost your character to 900 Light eh? That's certainly a sum of money that Bungle has chosen there.

    That's weird. Hitting the soft cap of 900 is the easiest it's ever been and takes almost no time.

    Edit: Plus you basically hit 900 just playing the campaign of Shadowkeep, which you have to play anyways. So you'd be paying 2000 silver to hit 900, then go and do the thing you'd have to do anyways to hit 900. That makes no sense!!

    AHAHAHA, 20 BUCKS? Are they fucking cracked?

    edit: I get that they need to make a buck here or there, but jesus, that's the worst value ever. Put all the old Eververse armor up for a reasonable price already, all of it, not just one or two suits.

    Seems more like it’s preying on the ignorance of players who don’t realize how very easy it is to reach 900, rather than offer a considerable time saver.

    If you don't enjoy leveling up from 750 to 900, you won't enjoy the game and thus should not be paying extra money for that. Full stop.

    It's really funny to me having the little icon next my Titan on the character select screen since right now he's at about 840. Like Bungle are sidling over to me and nudging me in the ribs all "Oh c'mon, £16 to save the hard graft of getting over that 60 light wall? a bargain at twice the price squire!".

    My first Saladin package via tokens got me enhanced hand cannon targetting. I got enhanced bow flinch and enhanced bomber as well. ~200 tokens spent?

    Blew 600 or so tokens. Came away with...

    Enhanced Rocket loader
    Enhanced Grenade Loader
    Enhanced Hand Cannon Dexterity
    Enhanced Shotgun Dexterity
    Enhanced Rocket Launcher Dexterity
    Enhanced Hand Cannon Targetting
    Enhanced Sniper Targetting
    Enhanced Linear Fusion Targetting
    Enhanced Unflinching Bow
    Enhanced Bomber

    Did all of his quest and bounties in one night, it's quite a bit easier this time around. Definitely knocking out Silimar's Design this time around.
